The EIoatcrinI Convention.

The Democratic District Convention
which met at Fayotpe last week to
nominate candidate for the Legisla-
ture from this county and Jefferson
did its work we'll.
Capt. J. J. Whitney, the nominee, is
a gentleman of character and ability.
lie is besides an experienced and able
legislator, having served several years
in the State Senate. The Democracy
of the District and of Lincoln county
especially. owe it to themselves TO give
him hearty and loyal support, and Il
rousing majority at the polls.
While the personal friends and adj
mirers of Mr.. Summers and Slr. Lew
cnthal re gret the failure of either of
these gentleman to receive the party's
honors, vet none of them can or do
hesitate a moment in their duty to the
party and its standard-bcarerS.
Lincoln county's candidates went be-
fore the Democracy of Jefferson handi-
capped by misrepresentation and by the
schemes of designers, and the jefferson
delegation were so wrought upon that
it was quite impossible for Mr.. Sum-
mers or Mr.. Lewinthal to receive Il
vote from that county. The Lincoln
delegation stood to Mr.. Summers as
long as he was candidate and then
voted for Mr.. Lewenthal until that
gentleman gracefully retired. Neither
first or second choice of this county be-
fore the Convention, our delegation
carried out the spirit of their instruc-
tiOns and voted for jefferson man;and
no better man Is to be found any
where than Capt. Whitney.

4 WOuld-be Blacl-Nailer.

An anonymous writer in the Jack
son "Daily Aid to Assassination
threatens if this paper doesn't cease
its unpleasant illusions to the con
duet of John c. Carraway, JacksOn's
guilty marshal, that he will make II
terrible exposure on some of the ed
itor's kintolks. Well, while we be
licve our kin will compare favorably
with those of most other people, we
fail to see why we should be held ac-
countable for their faults, if faults
they have. And, on the other hand,
we fail to see why our relatives
should lie made the targets of vituper-
alton and malice because of Otfense
given by us. If the anonymous wri-
ter referred to, Marshal Carraway or
the black leg and thief who runs the
Advertiser feels aggrieved at what
appears in this paper, he should
hold lis responsible, and not our I'M
offending relatives. We can gener-
ally be found at home.
We will also add that if the writer
who makes the threat referred to
hopes thereby to muzzle TIE LEAD
Err, he has mistaken his man. We
repeat that the retention of Cara
way as City Marshal of Jackson, af
ter his questionable connection with
the brutal assassination of Roderick
Gambrell, and his subsequent cow
ardly attack on Dabney Marshall, is a
reelection on the Capital City. True,
Carraway was not proven to take IL
direct hand in Gambrell's assassina-
ton, but it was clearly shown i'll the
hdbeas corpus trial before Judge Pey
ton, that be did all in his power to
shield those who did, and portions Of
his testimony were fatally impeachcd
by entirely credible and disinterested
witnesses. Moreover, Jackson may eX-
pect adverse criticisms from press and
people in other portions of the State
until she pnrges herself of all such of
ilcinls and the corrupt influences which
foster them.

\ CHANGE.

Our readers will observe quite a
change in this weeks LEADER. Ithas
donned n new dress of type, discarded
its "patent back" and is now all ed
tied ut home, set up 10y home printers,
printed by home prcssmen and con-
tains more home reading. We have
made the change in the interest of our
patrons. and we hope they will mani
fest their appreciation 10y helping us
to extend its circulation and field of
influence. Hitherto two pages of the
paper have been printed ut Memphis,
and to large extent filed with mat
ter of but little interest to home read
crs. Our object now is to devote its
columns chiefly to State and county
affairs and thereby increase its inter
est and usefulness as home paper.
Every effort will he made to make it
the neatest, newsicSt, and most read
able paper in South Mississippi. Short,
pithy communications and news items
are solicited from our friends in this
and all neighboring counties. Help
us to make the paper what it should

foundest study may be brought into
exercise with profit. Then let us, as
farmers, avail ourselves of all the ia
cilities of gaining a knowledge of
the theory as well as thepractice ofour
profession. Then be of industrious
habits, for idleness, ruinous in any
pursuit, is doubly so in farming. Well
directed labor is the moving power in
farming. If we are not willing to
work, better not he farmers. But we
would not have farmers to make
slaves of themselves. There is a
time for work. Let it be diligently
improved. There is also a time for
recreation, reading and study, which
should be filed with equal diligence.
Industry and energy are the conditions
essential to success in every depart
ment of human enterprise. They are
as important to the merchant or the
lawyer as to the farmer or mechanic.
Nothing valuable is obtained without
labor, and even industry, without en-
ergy, is comparatively inefficient; and
both these without economy, are
only as parts of the whole. In order
to accumulate, it is necessary to save
as well as to earn. The best business
may be speedily ruined by wasteful
and unnecessary expenditures. Be
economical in small things as well as
large ones. BE saving, but not mean.
The saving of money, like the getting,
should be prompted by intelligent
purpose. 1t should not be saving for
the sake of saving, but for the sake
of some worthy object, to be accom-
plished by the money saved. We should
lie content with what we need and
can Use with benefit to mankind,
remembering that our responsibilities
continually increase with our means
of doing good. We receive only to
distribute. Then we should labor for
the education of the agricultural
classes i'll the science of economical
government, and endorse the motto,
"In things essential, unity, i'll all
things charity endeavoring to de-
velop better state mentally, NOR
ally, socially and financially, striv-
ing to secure entire harmony and
good will among all mankind and
brotherly love among farmers, that
we may net together as unit

LAWRENCE COUNTY.
News Items Gathered and Re-
ported by Our Special Cor
respondent.

MONTICELLO, Miss, Oct. 18th, 1887.
We had Il fine shower last night and
appearances are good for much more.
The ground has become very dry and
for some time the air has been full of
floating dust. Pearl river is lower
than it has been for many Il
day, and at numbers of places it is
fordable.
Sheriff Lee and Mr.. c. r. Dale have
been attending the Association at Lit
tie Bahala church for the past three
days.
Mr.. W. l.. Guess of our place has
moved to Montgomery, Miss, and Nh.
John Garrett and family will go to
Texas soon.
Miss Lizzie Foxworth, of Marion
county, will assume charge of the Mon
ticello School to day. She comes high
~ recommended and a well taught
term is anticipated.
DIED.-Mrs. A. w. Maxwell died at
her home three miles from Monticello
Oh the 18th instant at 10 o'clock p. M,
of intestinal obstruction, at the age OF
36 years. She and Mr.. Maxwell had
been married only about 15months and
she leaves besides her unfortunate hus-
band, baby 1 months old. She was
IL daughter of Turner Wilson, of Simp-
son county, and the third wife of Mr..
Maxwell, he having lost his first two
within the past five years. We tender
our sympathy to the mourning hus-
band, father, relatives and friends.
Politics sleepeth. Mr.. benson is
the only Independent in the field, and
his proclamation has hardly produced
a ripple on the political sea. Mr.. d.
is good man, and has always been
staunch Democrat, but his over
confidence of being nominated has led
him to believe himself defrauded, and
he places himself on the hopeless
rostrnm of an independant. True, he
claims to be running as Il Democrat,
but the Democratic returning officers
from the primaries in conjunction with
the Democratic Executive Committee,
have declared DIR. Teunisson duly nom
mated, and the Democratic voters will
not support Mr.. benson. We think
too much of Mr.. benson to see him
take this futile step, but if he will rush
wildly into it, we can say no more.
The Brookhaven leader., 1887-10-20
The Ticket i'm Lawrence.

With the exception of the candidate
for Representative the result of the
late primary election i'll Lawrence
seems to have been cordially acquies-
ccd in by the people of that county,
and well it may, for better ticket has
not been put out by any county i'll the
State.
DIR. Geo. A. Teunisson the nominee
for Representative who is being inef-
fectually opposed by Mr. benson, rep
resented the county i'll the Legislature
of 1880, and Il better man for the place
could not be found in the bounds OF
the county. The Doctoris the father OF
Lawrence connty's prohibitOry law, and
made 1.-THE pioneerprohibition county
of the State; and though at the time he
was greatly censured by many of his
county-men on account Ofhis advanced
craftsmanship on this question, all
have lived to acknowledge its wisdom
and benign effects. He keeps thor
oughly posted on State politics and all
live ISSUES of the day, and his influence
will be felt for good in the next Legis-
lature in putting the State on sound
financial basis and Topping off extrav-
agant appropriations. The Democrats
of Lawrence should see to it that he
is elected by IL rouSing majority.
ID. NJ. Lee is tho nominee for Sheriff,
He has served one term, and done it
so acceptably that though he had two
popular opponents the people decided
that he was justly entitled to sue
ceed himself.
Will G. Cannon, the nominee
for Chancery and Circuit Clerk, is one
of the most popular men in the entire
county and hasn't a superior for the po-
sitiOn in the State. He has served as
Deputy Clerk for II number of years,
and no man was ever more deserving
of promotion. And so well convinced
were the people of this that he beat
both of his opponents by large ma
iority, who We're among the very best
men in the county.
The nominee for Treasurer, Alfred
Sharp, has held the money bags of the
county for IL number of years, and is
so noted for his sterling honesty that
it is useless for any one to contest his
place.
Wade Polk, nominee for Assessor is
the present incumbent, and has given
such satisfaction that he had no oppo-
Sition for the nomination.
We do not know Joel Bullock, the
nominee for Surveyor, but he is vouch-
ed for IFS Il competent man.
Taken as a whole the ticket is A J.,
and should he elected from top to
bottom.

Election Tickets.

The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Lincoln county has no mon
ey on hand, neither is there anymeans
of raising the amount necessary for
the printing of tickets except by levy
ing il tax upon those who have been
nominated. The Democratic nomi-
nces are therefore requested TO send
50 each to A. Lewenthal, Jr., Secreta-
nv of the Executive Committee at
Brookhayen, or to the LEADER, which
will print sufficiency of tickets to
supply every precinct. Any candi-
date mot running in opposition to one
of the Democratic nOminees), such as
Sheriff, Clerk, ETC., can get his
name on the ticket by paying the
LEADER one dollar. Blanks will be
left for writing the names OF eandi-
dates for beat offices.
The LEADER will also print special
tickets at low rates on special orders.

Bishop Galloway to Mr.. Davis

We to-day devote a large part of
our space to Bishop Galleway's reply
to the open letter of Mr.. Davis, and
though lengthy it will repay perusal.
1t is a statesmanlike document, written
in admirable spirit and meets and
completely answers every point Mr..
Davis advanced. The truth is, Mr..
Davis had no just provocation for his
open letter to the Bishop, and this is
made perfectly apparent in Bishop G's
reply. In fact, Mr.. Davis has made ii
great mistake III enteringupon the dis
cussiOn of the liquor question at all.
Of course no one questions his right t"
do so, if he chose, but the fact that he
has placed himself in position to be
used by the worst and most immoral
elements of society against the homes
and best interests of the South, is
mistake which will cost him the rev
erance of thousands of Southerners
whose regrets Bishop Galloway
voiced in his BrOokhaven speech, and
this mistake is already being seen and
deplored by many even who hold Mr.
Davis views.

Why don't you expose it at once?-
surely you are mad enough already.
Men like Turner Hobbs don't have
things they must keep hidden from
